6.1.3 iOS update could undo your iPhone 5 Jailbreak.
One of evasi0n's creators, David Wang, says that the developer version of the patch eliminates one of the five bugs necessary for evasi0n to run — a vital exploit hidden within the system's time zone settings. Any untethered phone that attempts to patch their system will effectively prevent evasi0n from working at all, re-jailing the phone again. This patch also ends the updates and support for the month-old untethering software that finally freed the iPhone 5 from carriers. Any new or updated phones natively running the newest version of the OS will not be able to access any of evasi0n's capabilities.
Right now, evasi0n remains one of the most popular jailbreaking softwares, gathering a hefty 7 million downloads in the first four days of being online. It has taken Apple three weeks to respond to the jailbreak on the developer end, but it's more likely that the patch will hit consumers sometime within the next month. The patch will also fix the lockscreen bug on the iPhone that allows anyone to gain access via brute force to locked phones.

StarifyCenturial Pretty easy, don't update. When it asks "Do you want to update?" Simply click no. Jailbreaking is cool and all, but for me it kinda slows things down.
A lot of the times, it is useless stuff they add that you really don't need anyways.
The notification annoys me...

It does slow it down, that's why I don't jailbreak any of my devices anymore.

Brad- The jailbreak was rubbish anyway. Makes the phone WAY too slow and unusable... Was hoping they'd bring out another jailbreak but it looks pretty unlikely now
yeah I didn't like it
